Hi,
i know this is possible (& want to do it...) - But i'm wondering if
anyone has already done this & has a working script ?
:- Basically, I want to create a Google doc (thats easy....) - Make it
published - so no login required (thats easy)...
:- I'm wanting a PHP script to check that google doc every 24 hours
:- Take away all the HTML codes / Codings etc...
:- So that I'm left with just the bare text of what is entered in the
doc.....
I've checked on a published test document...
the ONLY word is "test" - & the document (HTML) is 33KB in size...
Lots of Divs / HTML / Javascript etc...
Of course - I'll change it (the document) & test on more words /
paragraphs etc - To see how they look in HTML...
But - Is there a script already out there ?
Ps - I don't mind blank lines in my output (or 2-3 bank lines per 1
blank line on the screen...) - as long as its got a space beween
lines/paragraphs
Thanks...
- if none exists already - Would be good to get my teeth into.....
